Short description
The picture is sublimely sentimental, without the impurities inherent in postmodern modernity. The movie “Sweet Midnight” (actors performing central character roles - Kristen Stewart and Aaron Stanford) is old-fashioned in a good way, and not in terms of content, as it tells a love story that is understandable to everyone without exception. Mary Stewart Masterson, embodying her author’s intention, involved one of the most famous and bright stars of modern cinema Kristen Stewart in the work on the project and did not fail.
Georgia Kaminsky (Kristen Stewart)
In the film "Sweet Midnight", the actors starred versatile, but among all the performer of the main female role stood out. American film actress Kristen Stewart is the first American movie star to be awarded the French film award Cesar for her minor role in the drama Ziels Marie. The performer gained worldwide popularity after the release of the Twilight Saga, in which she played a major role. The debut of the actress in a big movie took place in the independent melodrama "The Safety of Things" by Rose Trochet. Success came to the performer after working with David Fincher in a crime thriller with an unforgettable atmosphere, thoughtful characters and the twisted story “Room of Fear”. He was followed by another thriller directed by Mike Figgis - “The Devil's Mansion”. The resonance of the audience for the acting skills of Stuart was rather weak.

Then there were works in the multi-genre films “Zatura”, “Cruel People”, “In the Country of Women”, “Messengers” and, finally, Masterson's directorial debut “Sweet Midnight” (2007).

Recommended for viewing
If the actors in the melodrama “Sweet Midnight” are an undoubted advantage, then the visual series and the scenario move have both minor flaws and annoying distortions, like the actions of the main characters that are not too clear or added to the plot, but mediocre branches of the narrative. But against the general background of an exciting atmosphere, the final scene and some immediacy of the picture, all the shortcomings simply disappear.
